Let's MASH it up!
23.04.2025 - Olympiapark München GmbH
„MASH is a special event for me with its very own atmosphere. The event has reinvented itself time and again since 2014. New sports and contest formats have been presented. Established ones have been expanded and perfected. Change has always been part of the programme,‘ explains Olympic Park boss Marion Schöne and continues: ’I'm really looking forward to the new edition, the relaxed atmosphere and top-class sport, top athletes and, of course, all the fans who are celebrating MASH with us in its eleventh year.“ The fact that the Olympic Park event is now firmly established in the calendars of the best international action sports athletes and is so popular with visitors - 96,000 fans attended the tenth anniversary - is also thanks to the sponsors and supporters, such as the City of Munich. „Action sports are very popular in Munich and an important topic for me. With events like MASH, we reach and inspire the younger generation in particular. In the best case scenario, one or two of them will then try skateboarding or BMX biking themselves - MASH offers the opportunity to do so. I am a MASH fan and am already looking forward to the three exciting days in the Olympic Park," says Munich's sports mayor Verena Dietl.
And this is what visitors can expect in the Olympic Park in 2025:
The BMX contest
Twelve of the best international BMX athletes will be showing off their tricks again this year on a challenging mini-ramp landscape at the Olympic Lake. This competition not only guarantees first-class sport, but once again also an excellent view of the contest in a unique setting. The set-up will demand a lot of creativity and trickery from the riders during their 50-second runs.
The skateboard contest
After the 2024 street contest, the skateboard competition and its set-up for the skateboarders will be transition-heavy again this year. The set-up from 2023, which the skaters will share with the BMX riders, is getting a gentle update with new lines and features. There will be six women and ten men at the start, of course all top athletes from the international scene.
The wakeboard contest
The twelve men and six women competing here are among the absolute top wakeboarders in the world. In addition to the "classic" contest for male and female athletes, there is a brand-new team competition this year: two athletes will compete simultaneously in the double-line format, which will ensure even more action and excitement.
MASH Fest
MASH Fest is all about being part of it, marvelling, enjoying, but also getting active and trying things out for yourself. A casual chill-out area invites you to linger and relax, while a variety of activities such as skateboarding, dance and graffiti workshops promise wonderful experiences. From varied culinary delights and musical entertainment to artistic performances, there is something for all the senses. The MASH Fest with the MASH Square (entrance Olympic Hall East) is a place of cultural diversity with music, art and design, infotainment and interaction. And there will be no missing the Red Bull After Party@MASH on Saturday evening.
